The best of the Austrian capital is highlighted in this elegant guide to Vienna. Ideal for tourists preparing for a trip to the fascinating metropolis, the book enables them to enjoy the exquisite churches, castles, and palaces while visiting the city. A chronicle of the locale's history is provided, ranging from its earliest days through the Middle Ages, Baroque era, 19th and 20th centuries, and the present day. Exploring the buildings of Hundertwasser, several museums, and other historic monuments, the guide also ventures outside of Vienna, capturing the abbeys of Heiligenkreuz and Klosterneuburg in detail. Specifying each era's most important objects of architecture and art, this handbook also includes a convenient city map, perfect for easily identifying major street names and locations while on tour.
